TO BUY OUR NEW CD
John Spaw & Dave Craig, original members of San Francisco punk rock band The Lowdowns (JUNK RECORDS, SIDE ONE DUMMY, DISASTER, IFA, and FLT RECORDS), have founded their latest project; a five piece band based in San Francisco California known as Stella Royale (named after a vintage blues guitar and the world’s most beautiful midget).
The line up includes: John Spaw - acoustic/electric guitar, vocals David Craig – baritone/bass guitar, keys, vocals
Rom Kuras – drums/percussion
Kat Cornelius – trumpet/French horn, vocals, percussion
Eva Piontkowski - Violin
Stella Royale's sound consists of haunting melodies using a bizarre combination of acoustic folk-Americana, New Orleans style jazz, including undertones of shoe-gazer and gypsy/circus music with influences such as Tom Waits, Devotchka, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Pixies, Yo La Tengo, The Shins, and more.
The guitar and trumpet/French horn melodies add an emotional and refreshing twist in places that are both surprising and unexpectedly pleasing to the ear while the violin creates subtle flavors of Euro-folk, Django and Gypsy.
Recorded at the end of 2009, ‘SOngs About Murder’, the latest album from Stella Royale (Rotten Egg Records), features songs that vary greatly in style and delivery but expand on the jazz infused post-punk foundation which began to take shape on [Stella Royale's last CD]Cockroach Esemble". -Plastic Milk
"Stella Royale conjures a sound that is both original and referential of many preceding things. A dash of punk - though hardly how you imagine it - a hint of shoegazer - again, quit imagining and just go listen - indie rock, psychadelic, blues, good old rock n roll and a heady dose of non-conformity". -Corazine
